Agreed.manhattanprjkt83 said:i would rather light that money on fire than buy that hunk of sh1t.
suprisingly, a 12 year old dh bike had no bidders...weird terry said:Did it sell?
Kornphlake said:No you can't have $7500 as you can't be trusted to spend it properly. I'm sorry to offend all the fan boys but that bike is not worth more than $5000 tops. Actually for $5000 I'd really want a better wheelset, better shifters, maybe a better derailur (although I've got no problem with XT a bike with that price tag deserves better) Hayes brakes are pretty run of the mill... Really the only high end and/or rare parts on that bike are the frame (only because they were built in limited numbers) and the fork and shock. The fork and shock alone are worth about $2000 new, the auction doesn't specify them as new just the frame, I'd pay less if I purchased them on Ebay. The rest of the build could be something they pulled off of a stock IH Sunday they were building as a race bike, there's no more than $500 in OEM components there. So you have to ask yourself is the frame really worth $4500? Personally I don't think so.

You're right. It's over 5 grand. Which makes the rest of the build kit worth $2,105.jonKranked said:the price tag on a brand new RL is $3600. That fork brand new is $1795 (http://www.avalanchedownhillracing.com/dhf8forka.html). If my elementary school math skills are correct that's over 5 grand...
Before you go insulting someone, might want to re-read his post.jonKranked said:I agree the build kit is nowhere near 2g's. My point is that Kornphlake was talking out his a$$hole saying that frame and fork were only worth $2000.

He said fork and shock, not fork and frame. You even quoted that specific part fo the post. Though I'll grant you, the frame and shock ARE worth more than $2k, but not a whole lot more.
BUCKET said:I hear a lot of good things about the shocks, but very little about the forks - are they mediocre?
Is that really necessary?SteezyWeezy said:haha, what a hunk of shiat, for 7500, i dont think so

was thinking the same thing.stoney98 said:is that one of the missing Brooklyn's?
Kornphlake said:Thanks for clearing that up for me, my blood was starting to run hot.
got you....i didnt even think about that..........thanks for the infojonKranked said:it's called a jackshaft. completely eliminates pedal induced feedback and chaingrowth because the secondary gear axle is also the pviot for the swingarm. I believe Doc owns the patent on it (for a bicycle at least)

gotta agree. the BMW racelink is hands down the best DH bike I have ever ridden, and I'm far from the only one out there with this opinion. If you've never ridden one, you don't know what you're missing. They are pricey, but well worth it IMO.dump said:ok asshats...
brooklyn's aren't hunks of ****, they're probably more bike than most of us need, & cost more than many of us are willing to spend, but please...
having spent some time on several of them... each has felt really good... solid & quiet.
They're not my cup of tea, but no need to piss on others.
